Perfect through 7

[Michelangelo]

The Detroit Tigers, hosting the Baltimore Orioles, have a combined (Brieski; Hurter) perfect game through seven innings.

Hanifee in for the eighth. Walked a guy. Perfect game gone. But no hitter intact through eight.

1-0 Detroit going into the top of the ninth. Detroit's closer, Holton, is in to try to complete the no hitter. Good luck kid.

One down. Two to go.

This approach much like TB a few years ago will end up being the new thing in baseball unless they change the rules. Bullpen games.
Tigers have given up 4 or less 32 of last 36 games.

Struggles to get a K from a .310 OPS player on a 3-2 count. Two down. One to go.

Triple.

No no gone. 1-0 game in jeopardy.

 

[Michelangelo]

Over. Detroit wins 1-0. No hitter gets lost with two out in the ninth.

Why would they change the rules? Kudos to Tampa Bay for being innovative in a pretty stodgy game. I like the concept. Give it all ya got for an inning or four. Let the next guy do the same.
